A Golden Wedding

For the RECORD.
Seeing a statement III a late number
of your highly esteemed paper, relative
TO a golden wedding that had taken
place in that vicinity, or, at least, was
SO reported, it nOw appears proper to
report the golden wedding of Mr. Rob
ert Walker and his excellent wife Re
6ecca, which took place OH last Satur-
day, March 18th and at which the
writer of this was present. Owing TO
the manyf friends of the family, it was
deemed best to not send out invitations,
only to relatives and a very few of
Their early i'll life acquaintances. HE
elder portion Of guests, naturally
were inclined to talk of events 4 bali
century or more ago, while those nearer
the age of childhood were disposed to
enjoy tie present in a manner suited to
their day and generation, among which
was some ably rendered samples Of vo-
cal and instrumental music. Mrs.
Rebie Oliphant, in her easy and grace
full style, performed on the organ,
while her husband, William O%liphant
assisted with a strong though musica
voice, sang treble, and MI, James d.
Torton, while exercising a bass voice
also had Il view to the voice of the la
dies who materially added to the enter
tainment. a bountiful and varied re-
past was spread, to which eighty-LWo
persons we're present to do ample JUS
tice. There were persons present who
were at the wedding in March 1887;
namely, Francis z. Walker, the only
surviving brother of the host ; Mrs
Mary IL. Thompson, Mrs. Margaret X
Smith, and DR. Henry M. Flanagan,
sisters and brother of Mrs. Walkers.
Dr.. II. NJ. Ftmagin made a brief speech
in which he alluded to circumstances
connected with the wedding fifty years
ago. He wa followed by sOme apPro-
pirate remarks from Mr.. WIN. ID. Tor
ton in which he alluded TO the changes
during the last half century He Was
promptly followed by the singing of
sPraise God from whom all blessings
how," in which all present joined.
There appeared to be a feeling that all
had enjoyed themselves to their entire
satisfaction. Mr.. and Mrs. Walker eX-
pressed their thanks for the many pres
ents that had been received, which con
sisted of gold, silver and other materials.
Many expressions were made that the
aged, through active couple might live
to celebrate many annual anniversaries
of their long and useful lives. f.
One of the circumstances of Mr.. aud
Mrs. Walkers wedding was that he
walked to Sharptown to get a preacher
| come down to marry them. Mr.. Wal
ker was a walker indeed i'll his young
days. He occasionally walked to Sa-
lem and back although there were
horses he could have driven.

Senator John D. Harris, of Madi
son county, was in town Friday
looking after his fences connected
with his race for Governor. The
Senator has a number of warm
friends in this county and his Wis
1t here has added numerous others
to the list. He is strictly a lusi'
ness man, his entire interests be-
ing in the State, consequently
should he receive the nomination
and be elected Governor, which un'
doubtedly would be, his whole OBJ
iect would be to advance the mate
rial interests Of the State and place
her on a higher plane than she now
is. We give it as our honest pre-
diction that when the county Of
Bracken is called at the Louisville
Convention, which meets May 4th
her nine votes will be cast for Sen;
ator Harris. -Bracken Democrat.

Senator John D. Harris returned
to this city, on Sunday night last,
after making a tour Of the Sandy
Valley counties, and we are putting
it mild when we say that the Sen
ator made the best impression upon
the people Of this section that has
been made by any stranger for
many years. Senator Harris
stands shoulder to shoulder with
the people of Eastern Kentucky
and all his efforts have been for the
development of our resources. If
our undeveloped wealth can be uti-
lied Eastern Kentucky would GER
tainly become the Empire Of the
South. Harris, as Governor,would
do much to bring this about-all
in his power, and as he IS an indie
fatigable worker in our interests he
could accomplish wonderful re-
suits. In this section the fight is
over, and if Eastern Kentucky had
the privilege of naming the Demo-
cratic nominee for Governor, it
would be John D. Harrls.-Cat-
lettsburg Leader.

Kentucky's First "Arbor Day.

The proclamation of Governor
Knott, calling attention to Arbor
Day, April End, as provided by the
Legislature, should receive a care
full and thoughtful reading. The
observance of the day Will not fail
to grow into great popularity. Its
work involves SO much that is pa
triotic, ornamental and highly use
full that it cannot possibly fail of
being accorded great respect and
general observance. The streets,
public grounds, country roads, and
other places will be made beautiful
and charming with looks and utility
from this lovely custom of annual
tree planting. Every citizen of the
State and every neighborhood
should give this uniform day re-
specttul heed. Cemeteries, school
and church grounds, commons
lanes and private property should
1 have the benefit of a days ornamen'
| tation that shall grow into a memo
rial for these whose hands shall dc
this commendable good for coming
generations. There is everything
in this beautiful and useful custom
to invite cooperation and pride
and organization should pave tn,
way for its celebration. Let ever,

ance of the day, and let the sun g

AS the trade dollars are now just
as valuable as the standard dollar
for all the purposes of trade, bust
ness men will receive them of course
as will banks and other financial
institutions; but banks and finan-
cial institutions will send them to
the Treasury for redemption and
not pay them out again.
In short, the trade dollar is now
the legal repr esentative of a stand
ard silver dollar, and will continue
to be so until the 4th day of Sep
TENDER next. 1t will, therefore,
command the value of a dollar in
all the channels of trade during
that period, after which it will be
only silver bullion, worth a little
over eighty cents. The act of Con-
gress providing for the redemption
of the trade dollars, became q law
at the close of the last Congress
without the signature Of the Presi-
dent. Under its provisions all trade
dollars not stamped or defaced,
will be redeemed by the Treasurer
of the United States at Washington,
or by any Assistant Treasurer of the
United States, dollar for dollar, in
the legal tender silver dollar Of the
country, at any time within six
months from the passage of the act,
which became law on the 4th of
March. 1t is estimated that there
are ten millions of trade dollars
held by the people, all of which
will of course come in for redemp-
ton. Many millions of them have
been absorbed in the China trade,
for witch they were specially coin
ed, and will not be returned for ex-
hange.-Capital.

Cure for Chicken Chlera.

In the June number of The Cul tivator one "J B P of Wakefield N. C., wants sure cure for hog and chicken cholera. l will give a receipe my wife took from an old Cultivator of 1881: Coperas, alum, sulphur, still rosin and cayenne pepper, equal parts, pulverize and then mix 1t. For a dose take a ia blespoonful in a gallon of meal, three times day, to stop it. Then feed the fowls on 1t once week, to prevent it. At the same time 1t is good plan to make white oak hark tea for them and put in troughs for them to drink, except the sick ones, and you can pour 1t down their throats. My wife fol lowed the above directions with good results. l would also state that she used crude carbolic acid as disintectant, tablespoonful of the acid to a gallon of water, sprinkling the houses and GOODS and all other places the chickens trequent.-E A.
